I just wanted to see what your opinions are on converting a virtual domain
to vpopmail.

I while back I was given the task of setting up a virtual domain, we'll call
virtual.domain.com.  I was fairly new to Qmail, so this is what I did.

Created a unix account 'virtual'.

For each 'user' in virtual, create an account virtual.user.  Create file
~virtual/.qmail-user with contents 'virtual.user'

This works fine (well, actually there are some issues, for example Linux's
chown doesn't like '.' in usernames).  However I recently found out about
vpopmail and I think it might be more ideal than having a lot of user
accounts on our system.

The problem is that I'd like to convert virtual.domain.com.  There's a lot
of accounts to convert, and I'm just trying to get an idea what the
difficulties/gotchas are.  I don't want to have to change anything on the
clients.  Is this possible/practical?
